Nearby Attractions

Three unmissable local attractions are just a short drive or scooter ride from the resort:

• Chaweng Beach: Just steps from the resort’s own beachfront access, this 7-kilometer stretch of powdery white sand is Koh Samui’s most famous coast. Spend the day swimming in calm, warm Gulf of Thailand waters, joining a beach volleyball game, or renting a longtail boat for a sunset cruise along the coast.
• Fisherman’s Village, Bophut: Just 10 minutes north of the resort, this preserved historic fishing neighborhood is home to colorful wooden shopfronts, cozy seaside cafes, and a popular weekly Friday night walking street market where you can pick up handmade handicrafts, sample local street food, and watch traditional Thai dance performances.
• Big Buddha Temple (Wat Phra Yai): A 15-minute drive northeast, this iconic 12-meter-tall golden Buddha sits atop a small hill overlooking the sea. Visitors can climb the staircase to the base for sweeping coastal views, explore the peaceful temple grounds, and participate in traditional merit-making ceremonies for a small donation.

Don’t miss the resort’s weekly beach barbecue night, where you can grill fresh local
